What makes your day?

Well, to me is that everything at work is ok, that the family is fine, and that a fellow blogger not only get the package I sent but he also like it!

I recently found that Bob at the The Five Tool Collector (and also the '59 topps: one f/g card at a time) had some Portuguese family.

Portugal is a small country (and we tend to make it even smaller!) and discovering that a fellow blogger from the other side of the Ocean have something related to us here is quite cool.

A couple of weeks ago I sent him my very first gift pack full of what I could get in my collection that he might like.

I was just reading right now my blogs list and when I got to Bob's blog I got this big smile in my face.

It's not that I wanted to feature in some fellow blogger post to show off.

It's simply because, like Bob said, it's the friendship you get.

So today I'm happy for that. And this was for sure just the first gift package I sent.

1991 Fleer Ultra - pack 9

Back to my 1991 Fleer Ultra collection.

Today I'll post about a pack and I'll be missing an other 2 and then it's finish the recap of my set.

Lets see if I get something interesting like dust falling from the pack.

I like Toronto bird logo more than other teams bird logo. Maybe I just like because it's blue.

Now the cards.

#1 of 10 Barry Bonds OF@PIT - An other insert card for the 'Ultra Team' set. And not only is the card #1 but also a Barry Bonds card. Pretty cool.

#2 Jeff Blauser IF@ATL - When the card states the player as an 'Infield' I tend to think he just played a few games and in almost infield positions to fill holes. Not the case for Jeff at least looking for his '90 states.

#40 Jeff Reardon P@BOS

#66 Ryne Sandberg 2B@CHC -  I think I've seen you before..But a nice photo is always welcome.

#100 Paul O’Neill OF@CIN - Card #100! I like round numbers. O'Neill here with the Reds in the year he would have his first All-Star call. After that is History...with my Yankees!

#123 Mike Henneman P@DET - They seem to like him a lot in Detroit.

#125 Dan Petry P@DET

#138 Mark Portugal P@HOU - WoW! What a moment! A player named after my country!? I've tried to find any clue if he has luso-ascendancy but found none information about that. One thing is for sure, I'll add Mark to my Pitchers collection.

#153 Jeff Montgomery P@KC - Has an entry in the 300 Saves list and the Saves Champions list.

#160 Kal Daniels OF@LAD

#168 Juan Samuel 2B@LAD

#181 Bill Spiers IF@MIL - Ok! Stop right now! And there is dust!!! Shame the diving player (Tigers player I think...) has the head cut out. Probably because of the Fleer Ultra logo not get in the way of Spiers head. Favorite card so far!

#196 Kevin Tapani P@MIN - WS champ in the house!

#260 Darren Daulton C@PHI


To sum it up, I like this pack a lot! The Portugal and Spiers card made it an A pack. Would have I get a Yankee player and it would have been an A+.
